Microsoft's site for bug reports is:

https://webresponse.one.microsoft.com/oas/public/AssistedIntro.aspx

This site allows a complete bug report to be filed, including demonstration
files, to allow support personal fully understand the system configuration
and problem scenario. The tracking allows for support personal to follow-up
and ask questions if they do not understand the problem report, and allows
the person filing the report to track the progress of the problem report.

Up until recently, it allowed reporting of Mac office bugs, though it has
always been a bit hit or miss. Frequently, the site blocks reporting of
Macintosh related bugs for weeks or months. The main issue is the initial
page's drop down box, which seems to get edited by people who do not
actually know the full range of Microsoft products, leading to the deletion
of the Macintosh related choices (as is the situation now). What is
particularly annoying is that the site does know about Macintosh product
codes and could easily have been designed to allow the product code to be
entered at first, bypassing all the editing problems that seem to occur when
the site is updated, or simply correct the selection based on the entered
product ID if the initial selection was not correct.
